Red Joan
|
"Inspired by the story of a real-life spy, Red Joan's world of Cambridge socialists is entertaining enough, though the film seems more interested in her fictional love affairs than in the politics."

Under the Silver Lake
|
"Upon first watch, it's series of bonkers and inspired interludes with a head scratcher of an ending. Once upon a time I thought the same thing about The Big Lebowski, and this one also may require a few more to fully appreciate."

If the Dancer Dances
|
"It's less of an insightful backstage documentary than a gushing, sycophantic love letter to the late Merce Cunningham."

Rafiki
|
"As played by Mugatsia and Munyiva, Kena and Ziki have a curiosity between them that goes beyond magnetism, seeming to go to their souls. The actors are completely mesmerizing to watch."

The Curse of La Llorona
|
"The Curse of La Llorona benefits from the occasional build of suspense, but this sloppy cinematic universe of horror has become the very definition of what 2013's "The Conjuring" was initially trying to combat: smart thrills over cheap scares. "

Captain Marvel
|
"Captain Marvel is the perfect mix of humor and action. Brie Larson brilliantly brought Carol Danvers to life in this film. A must see movie!"

Teen Spirit

"We knew Elle Fanning could act, but can she sing? She excels at both and despite the predictable story line, her performance overcomes the shortcoming leading to a sensational climax. "

Aquaman
|
"Aquaman was a film that could have been great, but fell flat. The amazing CGI did not make up for the cheesey jokes and what felt like a dumbed down script."

Alita: Battle Angel
|
"Alita: Battle Angel is a truly fun and wild ride. An action packed coming of age type story, with incredible CGI makes it a must see."

Fast Color

""Fast Color" will hit you as the big moments bring weight to its emotional conclusion. I was moved, and I saw the colors"

Teen Spirit
|
"While there are some entertaining moments in Teen Spirit, its well-traveled route doesn't offer any new insights or profound meditations on this culture of instant success."

Little Woods
|
"Little Woods is an assured debut, tinged with moments of anger, strength, frustration, and a glimmer of hope that comes from doing that you need to do to help those you love, even if it means going against a system that does not want you to hope."

"Even though it plays like the TV documentary that is [...], the filmmakers and subjects make a compelling case for an argument with the power to connect us all."

Oklahoma City
|
"Oklahoma City is effective when connecting 1995 to the decades of militant white nationalism that preceded it, yet Goodman bungles the documentary's relevance to the present."

Landline
|
"Robespierre and co-writer Elisabeth Holm craft an indelible portrait of the women in the Jacobs family, each at different life stages yet all struggling to feel the love with important companions."

"The old pan that something is "less than the sum of its parts" does not quite apply here."

A Ghost Story
|
"Lowery introduces a narrative conceit to remove us from our traditional comprehension of time and leaves us to ponder what forces still operate in these conditions."

Newness
|
"Newness exceeds the corny "how we live now" tropes, too, by giving us two characters we want to see succeed in breaking their generational baggage."

Call Me by Your Name

"Luca Guadagnino's film is sumptuous, sultry, and sincere. It's soaked with sensuality but defined by restrained tension and yearning expectation."

Midnight Special

Everybody Wants Some!!
|
"Affectionate time capsule though it might be, Linklater's film employs his detailed knowledge of the period to illuminate a truth about the narrow corridor between being a child and being a parent."

Weiner

"Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg's captivating political documentary Weiner could just as easily be named Huma, the film's second subject who proves equally as captivating."

"The film finds an emotionally resonant blend of tragedy and comedy that packs a wallop of as the story of a cancer-stricken mother (Molly Shannon, better than ever) reaches its inevitable end."
